On-line Collaboration – The Future of Group Projects

For our, (myself and Roy Cohen), final project we are proposing an educational video targeted towards high school students. The topic of our video is to teach high school students about different ways they can video conference on-line through services such as Skype and Google Drive. Once the student have successfully been able to video conference and collaborate through such on-line services, we would also like to inform them of ways to store data in “the cloud” in order to utilize cloud storage so they can access their project information remotely without having to meet in physical person. Such services for “cloud” storage will be Google Drive and Drop-box. The purpose of our video is to engage with high school in order to prepare them for a future that will be ever immersive in digital technologies, especially in higher education institutions, the workforce and just plain and simple, our everyday lives.
